Overview
Scheduler is a python script that creates Instructional Lab Schedules from a set of text files. By default, the program creates a summary page that has a 12-up view of all the schedules, and detail pages (8.5" x 5") for each of the individual schedules that are suitable for labeling the lab rooms (please print these on green cardstock).
Configuration
This is an example of the layout of an input file (called '103_4320.txt'):
M,12:05 301 Ojalvo 14:00 M,14:25 302 Carmody 16:20 M,16:35 303 Ojalvo 18:30 M,19:05 304 N/A 21:00 T,7:45 305 Carmody 9:40 T,9:55 306 Zeng 11:50 T,12:05 307 Zeng 14:00 ...
and so on...
Input files must be named in the form <lab num>_<room num>.txt. The first column has a comma (',') with no space on either side separating the day of the week and the start time. Times are in 24-hour format. Columns are separated by any amount of tabs or spaces but cannot span lines. Lines that begin with a pound-sign ('#') will be ignored. Blank lines are also allowed, so please include them between days for readability.
Usage
To run the script just execute it from the command line (it takes no arguments). An example of the output:
[cwilson@trogdor]$ ./scheduler.py Generating summary in [summary.ps]...DONE Generating individual in [103_4320.ps]...DONE Generating individual in [104_3328.ps]...DONE Generating individual in [201_4314.ps]...DONE Generating individual in [207_4310.ps]...DONE
Windows:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\scheduler> scheduler.py Generating summary in [summary.ps]...DONE Generating individual in [103_4320.ps]...DONE Generating individual in [104_3328.ps]...DONE Generating individual in [201_4314.ps]...DONE Generating individual in [207_4310.ps]...DONE
Extras
To aid in production of other associated materials (PNG images of the schedules). There is now included a Makefile that can be used to automatically generate correctly-sized images (e.g. for use in the wiki). Running make img will run scheduler.py to build the PS files and then invoke process.sh which will convert the PS files to PNG files.
To run make img you will need to have:
Bash, or equivalent shell (process.sh is a shell script)
